Mid-November - the start time of extreme weather conditions fishing. In the middle lane at this time there may be snow (I can not believe, looking at the December rain and +9 outside), and just South, near Volgograd, it should be relatively warm weather. There went Alexander Volynkin below, accompanied by the Volgograd known angler, journalist and host of many tournaments Andrey Starkov hunting at night with a jig for zander on the deep rifts.
We know more about night fishing for zander on crankbaits, when the predator goes on a night hunt to a rather shallow, with depth. And here Andrey for a lot of fishermen have noticed that not all predators are sent to Rob in the shallows. A large number of zander remains at a relative depth (4-6 meters), surrounding in the dark flocks forage fish and actively feeding on it. Especially near Volgograd the usual abundance of Caspian herring, which is the main prey for zander at night.
The boys went into the Volga river before dark and at first searched for a zander to snag ditches. And only towards the twilight of their boat went to glaze with an average depth of and fishermen began to look for flocks forage fish - the future location of their fishing. In the end, the guys found their point almost in the city of Volgograd, and all fishing occurred with the illumination of "city lights"...
How successful may be the tactic of fishing, you can see from the plot, shot Alexander and Andrew. To me personally, their approach (including the organization of hot meals in the boat) is very liked...
And discussing what he saw with Dima, we decided to try this tactic of fishing in the following season. Let's start right in the summer. When viewing the plot I immediately thought of two places at the Cheboksary reservoir, near Vasilsursk. Both places - a vast underwater sand with depths of 5-7 meters and slopes with a braid in both directions at 9-11 meters. In the daytime I just successfully caught perch it on the slopes with these KOs. So why not try night jig on the braids?
